THIS IS COMPLETE RUBBISH. If you put the tail of the Q on the left side of your forehead, correctly, so that it can clearly be read, that merely says that you are a good communicator, and want to be understood. It says nothing whatsoever about misrepresentation. Indeed, I could argue that if you did the Q the wrong way round, then you are more likely to be less than truthful, in that you didn't think it through first. This guy's thinking is totally screwed up.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52eacd56eab8ea4a4de46801Conwaythe ContaminationistThu, 30 Jan 2014 17:08:22 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52eacd56eab8ea4a4de46801
Please read this very carefully:
I'm lying.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52eabebb6da8118270a59648jp32Thu, 30 Jan 2014 16:06:03 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52eabebb6da8118270a59648
Indeed!
Moreover, the test might also just demonstrate that you are good at doing 3D rotations or mirror images, and have nothing do do with truthfulness or deceit.
As soon as I read the sentence my first question was: " for whose perspective should I be 'writing' this? Does this mean that I'm a liar because I consider that a good answer to the question might involve considering the perspective of someone else?
It kind of bugs me when people get these over-simplified ideas and then tout them as if they've found some great key to life, when it is really just a cheap parlor trick that doesn't really work all that well. And, when naive 'journalists' reprint it as if it were actually something...
Sheesh!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52eab252eab8ea0770631eeethe only real testThu, 30 Jan 2014 15:13:06 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52eab252eab8ea0770631eee
Its easier than that. Just ask yourself if you are a republican, tea party member, a conservative or watch Fox news. If you answered yes to any of those then chances are you are a liar.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52ea5484ecad04c365b6b0fbProud CanadianThu, 30 Jan 2014 08:32:52 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52ea5484ecad04c365b6b0fb
This is the funniest thing I've ever read on this site lol.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52ea01b26da8117e6cc8b0beOneThu, 30 Jan 2014 02:39:30 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52ea01b26da8117e6cc8b0be
Total BS. You do not think where to put the tail on Q. It comes naturally on the left (on the right from your finger as it points toward your forehead). By the way, introverts are better at lying, as they are better at anything intellectual.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52e9e08d69bedd8473e84e7bMenschThu, 30 Jan 2014 00:18:05 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52e9e08d69bedd8473e84e7b
If I draw the Q so others can read it it means that I can read it myself in the mirror ... meaning that tail on the left side is good for me and good for others and just the pracically better directionhttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/52e9da1b69beddf959e84e79ImaGreatLiarBut...Wed, 29 Jan 2014 23:50:35 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52e9da1b69beddf959e84e79
...then again, I'm probably lying about that!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52e9b4626da8113217c8b0bejust a terrible lierWed, 29 Jan 2014 21:09:38 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52e9b4626da8113217c8b0be

that said, care to teach me how to be a good liar? 3:)http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52e9a8b3eab8ea3524c8b0bdSurfer of Lies and EmbellishmentsWed, 29 Jan 2014 20:19:47 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52e9a8b3eab8ea3524c8b0bd
I mentally drew the Q's line to the right. In reality, I'm the best liar ever. I work in finance. I lie to clients all the time. I lie about the manager's "ability to achieve results in any market condition." I lie about the pro-forma performance of the fund. I smile and lie about my background and exaggerate the fund manager's background. I lie about the number of staff we have working for us. I lie about the 3rd-party vendors we work with, "market leaders." I lie about parties and events we attend or have "sponsored." I lie about the celebrity clients that we have. And I also lie about the manager's work ethic.
Banking and finance is all lies and I'm one of the liars who work in the industry.
This test is silly at best.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52e997b6eab8ea8b65c8b0bcderbinWed, 29 Jan 2014 19:07:18 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52e997b6eab8ea8b65c8b0bc

I started to draw the line on the left side of my forehead, caught myself and thought about it, then drew it on the right side of my forehead.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52e98690eab8ea2027c8b0bcblasiusWed, 29 Jan 2014 17:54:08 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52e98690eab8ea2027c8b0bc
What the * was this?? There's not even a trace of science in this!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52e9867eecad040014e84e79kmqWed, 29 Jan 2014 17:53:50 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52e9867eecad040014e84e79
Some people are born and bread liars. From a young age they are taught that the World is against them and that lying is good. Cheating others becomes acceptable since they are the victims.
The problem with this is that once you get labelled a pathological liar, even when you are telling the truth nobody will believe you!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52e97f91eab8eadb09c8b0c0bahahalolWed, 29 Jan 2014 17:24:17 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52e97f91eab8eadb09c8b0c0

Easier yet, can you win a race for public office?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52e97d3decad048169e84e83Here's another testWed, 29 Jan 2014 17:14:21 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52e97d3decad048169e84e83
Are you in politics? Add 100 to your score.
Are you an executive of a public corporation? Add 90 to your score.
Are you in sales? Add 80 to your score.
Add up.
Is your total more than 1? Then you're a good liar.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52e97bf66bb3f77871e84e79Ruelle Albert CastroWed, 29 Jan 2014 17:08:54 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52e97bf66bb3f77871e84e79
Does the test work on ambidextrous guys???
I think this works if one thinks on impulse. However is one is ambidextrous it may be that there is a conscious effort to determine what is your dominant hand...http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52e97a6b6bb3f79068e84e79BravoF1Wed, 29 Jan 2014 17:02:19 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/52e97a6b6bb3f79068e84e79
